After doing a check on the site, it popped up 3 recalls for my Born.
I got in touch with Cupra UK who confirmed the 3 recalls and told me to get in touch with a local dealer.
I plan to call the local dealer tomorrow to get it booked in!
No idea if Cupra UK plan to let customers know about these recalls ?
The three recalls are below. Anyone know what they are for?
Recall Number 93S2: S-Flash action Born MF 3.2.1
Recall Number 93Q2: S-Replace Battery Module
Recall Number 44T6: W-Goodyear Tyres
72 plate | V2 | 58Kwh | Tech L pack | Vapour Grey

Google or forums has most of your answers. I have not been recalled for any so can't be 100% sure on exact details. My car works fine and I have Michellin PS tyres so I am not chasing my dealer to check!

Recall Number 93S2: S-Flash action Born MF 3.2.1
Update to software 3.2.1, or a fix to it if already updated?

Recall Number 93Q2: S-Replace Battery Module
To check for defect or poor working cells, they are then replaced, takes a few days to do as far as I know. Has been brought up in this forum and the German forum. You can also browse the German forum, just set you Browser to translate all to English, some good info there too.

Recall Number 44T6: W-Goodyear Tyres
Tyre check as some have failed with cuts in the inner wall. Free replacement I guess. Has been brought up on this forum.

Cheers Ponk,
After I posted this I did a bit of googling on the recall numbers and came to the same conclusion that you have listed. My car has continental tyres so think that the Goodyear one may be a red herring.
My local dealer got back to me saying that they can do the battery check and if there is a failure of some kind it needs to go to a Battery Competency Centre for the work. No idea where the nearest one to me is.
It’s booked in for late November (first appointment they had)
